  • The eerie calls of Common Loons echo across clear lakes of the northern wilderness. Summer adults are regally patterned in black and white. Listen to the calls of the four other types of North American Loons.

    Common Loon: majestic, otherworldly, haunting
    Pacific Loon: Baby next to you on a 3 hour flight
    Red-throated Loon: Kitty lets you know its bowl is empty for the fifth time today
    Yellow-billed Loon: Seagulls as they attack over your french fries
    Arctic Loon: Frog in a submarine

      I go camping yearly at Algonquin provincial park in Ontario. It's larger than some countries. We always canoe to a very quiet and not well known part of the park. it was maybe 2 in the morning and I was the only one up. It's almost terrifying hearing the common loons call echo across the water, and for another to call back. I get chills every time I hear a loon call.

      My cousin's cabin is on a large lake in Ontario, Canada's Cottage Country. I feel cheated if I go a day without hearing the call of the loons. There are several on his lake and on the surrounding ones as well.

    The Common Loon is by far my favorite, I camp and fish in the Adirondacks in Upstate NY every year and I always look forward to hearing them. They never disappoint. ---- Pet Peeve of mine, have you ever noticed how Hollywood will use the call of the loon in movies to represent a wild location, it could be a jungle scene and you will hear a loon. Drives me crazy!

      they mess up a lot of bird calls in inappropriate settings; like given an eagle a red tailed hawk scream. The loon calls in random places that are NOT in the northern woods is a pet peeve of mine as well

  • @MylotheZooLovingScientist
    @MylotheZooLovingScientist 2 года назад +19

    No disrespect to the other loon species, but the Common Loon’s wail is absolutely magical. Something about those simple three notes is so beautiful, haunting, and-to borrow the words of another user-soul-touching. Along with its tremolo, that wail has got to be one of the most iconic sounds in the animal kingdom, at least in North America. A recording with a nice echo only enhances it. Awaiting the day I have a chance to hear it in person.
